:14:00
I know that sounds silly.
:14:02
It belonged
to the Curwen family.
:14:04
We inherited it.
:14:06
- Curwen, you say?
- Yes, that's right.
:14:08
I don't know of any such house.
:14:13
All right. Thank you anyway.
:14:19
Just a minute.
:14:23
Why do you want to know
about the Curwen place?
:14:25
Because it belongs to us.
:14:28
Your name is Curwen?
:14:29
No, our name is Ward.
:14:31
Then...?
:14:32
Joseph Curwen was
my great-great-grandfather.
:14:35
Can you tell us
where the house is?
:14:38
I can, but I won't.
:14:40
That's what I like
about you New Englanders...
:14:43
you're so friendly.
:14:46
Come, Ann.
We'll find it oursel...
:14:47
Mr. Ward! Don't go there.
:14:49
It isn't a house. It's
a madman's palace as old as sin.
:14:53
Palace? In America?
:14:55
Brought over stone by stone.
:14:57
Brought over from where?
:14:58
Europe somewhere. No one knows.
No one wants to know.
:15:01
But if you value your lives,
don't go there.
:15:04
Why not?
:15:06
What Edgar...
Mr. Weeden means is...
:15:07
that place is a ruin.
:15:10
It hasn't been occupied
in over 100 years.
:15:13
Is that what you mean?
:15:20
- What a strange man.
- Yes.
:15:24
He has had a bit,
but what he says is right.
:15:27
Mr. Ward,
Mrs. Ward, please...
:15:31
do yourself a kindness.
:15:33
Go back to wherever
you came from...
:15:36
and forget you ever heard
about Arkham.
:15:38
And what do you recommend
I do with the deed?
:15:40
- Just tear it up?
- Yes.
:15:43
Just tear up the deed
to a palace I've inherited...
:15:45
and forget all about it...
:15:46
without so much
as laying eyes on the property.
:15:48
- Is that your advice?
- It's more than advice.
:15:52
Come on, Ann.
:15:55
Mr. Ward...
